Reply | Edit | Del All Should I get a HK USP 9mm or Sig Pro .40?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys looking for some input...I've got the chance to buy a Sig Pro for $499.00 or a HK USP for $619.00 both are new guns. I'm trying to decide if the HK is worth the extra $120.00. Gun will be my one do everything pistol, plinkin, defense, etc. What do ya'll think?

Welcome, Forsaken1, glad you are here to share knowledge and enjoy each others company.
Now, how come there isn't a .45 acp in your gun question line up? That's the caliber for serious put down power.
Never owned or shot those guns you mention, but bet they are quality firarms.

the price on firearms is secondary to me.the costs involved in shooting will easily surpass the original cost of a firearm.my 9 mm loads cost about 20 cents each to handload with top quality componants,my 440 loads about 25 cents,and 50 ae about 35 cents each.this being said,I usually shoot the 440 because the fun factor is much higher than a 9mm round.the 40 is slightly more powerful,and slightly more for factory ammo,and the 45 auto is a great caliber for the experienced shooter.I bought my 9mm so my wife could go shooting with me,and her small hands fire this weapon just great.if I was buying for me I would have chosen the 45 auto.good luck with wahtever you chose,I like the hk alot.

All other things being equal, of the two, I'd go with the 40 caliber as a defensive round. It has a significant edge in real-world stopping power over the 9mm.

I'm on your side but, the advantage the .40S&W has over 9mm is MORE than significant. I find it hard to believe that people actually still buy 9mm pistols since the .40 and .357Sig has been catching on. The 9mm is nothing more than a hair bigger than a .380 ( snicker ). It has been proven time and time again that the 9mm is not a "man stopper", no matter how many Navy SEALS say "It doesn't matter when I put a 9mm in your brain." Not everyone can hit an assailant in the brain, so a .40's power is a much needed commodity in a small autopistol round hitting in the torso.
I might add that the .40 is beginning to approach .45 numbers in ballistics now that some more development has gone into it by the ammunition manufacturers.
The advantage the .40S&W has over all other auto rounds is so glaring it befuddles me why anyone would use anything else in a CCW pistol.
